T24 Battery Life Calculator

For the wireless transmission of force data we use the T24 series of transmitters. The following transmitters T24-SA, T24-SAf, T24-IA, T24-VA, T24-PA, T24-RA and T24-TA all use batteries to power the transmissions and as such will have transmission lifetimes that depend on a number of variables. The battery life calculator below can be used to give you this transmission lifetime.

T24 Transmitter Module Battery Life Calculator

Select the required module and enter the chosen parameters including the battery type. Click 'Calculate' and the noise free resolution and the expected battery life will be displayed.

T24 Device

Select your module.

Tx Interval (ms)

Enter the transmission interval in milliseconds. The default is 333mS which is three transmissions per second.

Sample Time (ms)

Enter the sample time in milliseconds. Increasing the sample time will improve the noise free resolution at the expense of battery life.

Load Cell Impedance (Ohms)

Enter the loadcell impedance in ohms or the current drawn by any external sensor in the case of a T24-VA or T24-IA.

Usage Per Day (hours)

What is the estimated number of hours per day that the device is likely to be awake. Remember that when not in use the modules enter a very low current deep sleep mode.

Battery

Selecting a common battery type here will populate the usable battery capacity below.

Usable Battery Capacity (Ah)

Enter the usable battery capacity. This may not necessarily be the published capacity.

Startup Time (ms)

This optional feature allows time for an external sensor to start up. This is not required for load cells.

Low Power Mode

Select this to enable the module to save power between transmissions. If the battery life looks too short check here to see if Low Power Mode is selected. This is not available for T24-SAf modules.

Latest Case Studies

The TRX in use

We wanted to see why our customers buy the TRX Strain Gauge Sensor Display and what they use it for. Prescott Instruments Ltd is one such customer. Located near Tewkesbury, they use the TRX to provide a value-added customer calibration service.

The Prescott Instruments ‘Auto Load RHEO-LINE Multi-Function’ material testing machine is an engineering masterpiece. It takes in a rubber material sample and compresses it between two hot plates. With the rubber sample remaining compressed, the bottom plates slowly rotates back and forth, thus subjecting the sample to various torque forces while the rubber cures at a high temperature.

Submersible load cells go in DEEP

See how our DDEN load cells are being used by DEEP Research for underwater product development.

Applied Measurements Promise Precise Thrust & Torque Results in Tidal Turbine Testing

Read how our dual axis force and torque sensors was used in tidal testing by the University of Oxford. They aimed to understand how the spacing between tidal turbines and different control strategies affects the performance of tidal turbines.
